December 10, 1924—An organization called the Friends of Freedom for India holds a dinner in New York City.
The group was affiliated with the Gadar Party, another activist group that worked towards India’s independence. Friends of Freedom for India was led by the American journalist Agnes Smedley and Indian nationalist Sailendranath Ghose. Their mission was “to maintain the right of asylum for political refugees from India” and “to present the case for the independence of India.”
